Poor Quality

1/26/15 by little runner | Loveland, co

Used Product For: 4-6 weeks

"I have owned close to 15 pairs of the previous models of this shoe and this one is terrible. The "leather" has torn in 2 places down the insides of my shoes and I did not scuff them or scrap them the cheap "leather" just ripped. A family member bought the women's version of this shoe and hers did the same thing. For the price I paid and the previous legacy I expected much better from this shoe."

What happened New Balance ? Product decline.

1/7/15 by LindaR | ATLANTA, GEORGIA

Used Product For: 8 or more weeks

Primary Activity: Walking

"You used to make a great sneaker ! What has changed ? I have a pair of 857's and am SO disappointed in them. They make noise when I walk. Like I have something stuck to the bottom of my shoes ! Not good when you walk down the hall where you work and everyone looks at you like "get that gunk off the bottom of your sneaks" ... and your sneakers are "squeaky" clean. I have worn New Balance for YEARS. Now, when I wear these sneakers ... I have heel pain in my right foot and my left leg feels like it has a shin splint. I change to a pair of clogs ... and all the pain goes away ! Suggestion ... don't buy these."

Not good

12/8/14 by excellance | Bradenton, FL

Used Product For: 8 or more weeks

Primary Activity: Walking

"The shoe was initially fine. I did not encounter the squeaking others mentioned but after less than 3 months of wear, the sole began separating from the upper at the toes of both shoes. This allows dirt and crud to get in there and get carried indoors with you. I also had a real problem with mold in the shoe that I have never had before."

I was a satisfied 856 customer for years..

10/24/14 by DeepShoes | Ft Wayne, IN

Used Product For: 8 or more weeks

Avg Miles Per Week: 6-10 miles

Primary Activity: Walking

"856 has been my shoe ever since I got custom orthopedic inserts. This 857 has seams that cause my little toe to have blisters. I had my shoe stretched, the orthotic insert modified and added padding to try to get the 857s to work...but I just hate walking in them due to the pain...I am done with them."
